Wideband - Bandwidth up to 500 MHz
Switchable Gain up to 60 dB (x 1,000)
Noise down to 0.9 nV/√Hz
True DC Coupling, Switchable to AC
Offset Adjustable to Zero
Bandwidth
For optimum signal-to-noise performance choose an amplifier with sufficient bandwidth corresponding to the required signal bandwidth. However, keep in mind that unnecessary high bandwidth introduces more wideband noise. Therefore, FEMTO offers HVA Wideband Voltage Amplifiers with three different upper cut-off frequencies to match individual measurement requirements. And as with all FEMTO Adjustable-Gain Amplifiers the bandwidth remains constant when switching between the different gain settings which is very important for measuring fast signals and pulses.
True DC-Coupling with Zero Output Offset
True DC-Coupling is extremely important for accurate pulse amplification and analysis especially when different pulse lengths occur like in digital codes or transients with micro- to millisecond duration. If the amplifier is AC coupled or has a large output offset to be de-coupled by the AC setting of the oscilloscope there will be significant undershoots and baseline shifts in the measurements. Therefore, all HVA Wideband Amplifiers offer a true DC-coupling and an adjustable output offset control even with the 500 MHz model.
Very Low Input Noise
Low input noise is very important for a good signal-to-noise ratio, especially when amplifying small signals. All HVA Amplifiers are optimized for minimum input noise reaching excellent values as low as 0.9 nV/√Hz.
Applications
Oscilloscope and Transient-Recorder Preamplifier
Photomultiplier and Microchannel-Plate Amplifier
Time-Resolved Pulse and Transient Measurements
Amplification of Digital Signals (no Baseline Shift at any Digital Code)
